MY 2001 chevy malibu's ABS (anti-lock brake system) light keeps coming on.

Then my brakes jam up and I can't stop and I don't understand it. It happens while I'm still driving and also while I'm braking. It's really weird and it scares me because I have my 2 babies with me usually. Are my brakes bad or could it be my fuel pump possibly? I'm not sure and I know nothing about cars! Help please

If your ABS light comes on this just means you have lost the ABS feature and the brakes should act just like a regular brake system that is not equipped with ABS. They really should perform like a regular brakes even though the ABS lght is on.When you say they jam up what do you mean exactly? Do they jam on evrey pedal application or once in a while? Is the pedal height normal? Does the brake pedal sink? Do all wheels lock up? just the front? or rears? do they pull left or right? do you smell anything burning like a burned biscuit odor? any additional descriptions would help.
